Downtown

Even 15 years ago, you would be hard-pressed to find housing in the city’s compact triangular downtown area. Recently, developers have recognized the potential in the many older and underutilized buildings adding fully reconfigured loft and apartment spaces to the options for interested buyers. The city’s downtown also includes many spacious, window-walled, new and renovated riverfront condos with fitness centers, integrated parking and other amenities.

Some quick facts about Downtown:
